MSNBC reporter Dasha Burns made a bold statement on Tuesday telling viewers Democrat senatorial candidate John Fetterman is "having a hard time understanding our conversations" following her interview with the Pennsylvania Democrat earlier this week.
Of course, this went over like a lead balloon with the fake news crowd who make a living at hiding the truth from the American public.
But this didn't stop Burns from sticking to her previous reporting.
Via HotAir.
That reporting apparently touched off enough recriminations that Today host Savannah Guthrie had Burns address the criticisms. Twitchy has collated some of those from other journalists, including those who claim to have communicated with Fetterman without any issue. Those other journalists didn't do in-person interviews, Burns tells Guthrie, and even the campaign acknowledged that Burns was the first in-person television interview the Senate candidate has had since his stroke five months ago:
NBC's Dasha Burns hits back at liberal reporters attacking her for pointing out Fetterman can't engage in "small talk."

Other reporters have used remote connections for their interviews, including occasional televised interviews in the past few weeks. That allows Team Fetterman to control access and limit reporters' ability to judge Fetterman's cognitive skills. They couldn't do that with Burns, which is why her perspective on this issue is far superior to that of her critics.
John Fetterman is not tracking.
RNC Research posted a few of the more memorable moments from Fetterman's interview with Sasha Burns. Clearly, John is not all there.
"Are you committed to showing up on October 25 to debate your opponent no matter what happens?”
Fetterman: “No”
“To clarify, are you committed to showing up on October 25?"
Fetterman: “Well, yeah. Of course I’m going to show up on the 25th.” pic.twitter.com/2U8AYWQ5S4

Fetterman just claimed he’s “always supported” fracking.
Fetterman signed a pledge to BAN fracking and repeatedly said he’s against fracking.

Reporter: “Don’t you think if you just release those [medical] records and answered those calls [for transparency], it would be easier to put this to bed?"
Fetterman: My doctors say I'm fit.
Reporter: “But we haven’t heard from your doctors in 6 months.” pic.twitter.com/Q0rIbwbqfP
